Netflix’s new seriesSeven Seconds is an addictive procedural drama that starts off as a murder mystery and turns into something else. The show isn’t so much concerned with the crime at hand as it is the fallout – the trauma that befalls relatives, and the way such events can impact several different lives. Seven Seconds has big issues on its mind, particularly tensions that arise in a community when dealing with a racist police force. Ultimately, it’s not entirely successful with its bigger issues, but a series of stellar performances elevate Seven Seconds into something worth watching.

Another day, another brand new Netflix series! Seven Seconds is an intense new crime thriller from The Killing creator Veena Sud, with a cast that includes Regina King and Clare-Hope Ashitey. The new Seven Seconds trailer provides a compelling, gloomy glimpse into the upcoming series.

Netflix is once again joining forces with writer, producer, and director Veena Sud for a new series. The streaming service helped revive the showrunner’s AMC drama, The Killing, which lasted for four seasons. Sud’s new Netflix show is, according to executive producer and director Gavin O’Connor (The Accountant), set in a post-Ferguson world in Jersey City and titled Seven Seconds.
